Due to the large volume of registrations received, the office does not notify each participant once they are registered. It is your responsibility to attend class on the first day of the session. If you have mailed in your registration and your name is not listed on the roster, the instructor will let you know to contact the office during normal business hours. If you are unsure of the first day of the session, please call the office at: 626-580-2210.

Classes take place at various sites throughout the City. Please check the current brochure for a list of classes and locations. You may also call the office at: 626-580-2210 for more information.
